Ministry of Justice

Promession

Dr Rosena Allin-Khan: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether local authorities are permitted to offer promession services to bereaved families; and if she will make a statement.

Dr Phillip Lee: An error has been identified in the written answer given on 18 January 2017.The correct answer should have been:

Promession involves neither burial nor the burning of human remains and is therefore outside the scope of the existing legislation on burials and cremation. However, local authorities may offer the process, provided that they comply with other relevant legislation, such as environmental legislation.As such, it is not something that local authorities can offer.
